Lack of interest Should it be easier to go back and forth to my 10 latest threads ?

Besides having 10-200 browser windows open at one time ... which I do.
Should there be a way to go to one thread. get the info you need. and then go back to the thread where you want to post the information ?

Ideas ?

There is a "Jump to" feature for Forums, but more useful to me would be "Jump back" to
(1) the previous thread,
(2) one of the latest 10 threads.

Yes, I do use the browser BACK thing, but that fails at times for some reason.
As well, alot of users wouldn't use the browser BACK.

Anyone like this ?

It would be like a "thread breadcrumb" ?

of your last threads.

could be saved, so that when you come back, you know what you were doing !

I'd probably call it "Recent Threads", not Latest Threads.

I have found that the "All Recent Messages" button on the "What's New" listings has helped this somewhat

Would people like a list of their top 10 most visited threads ?

Your dropdown - > Your Content

?

Your dropdown - > Your Content

No ... it isn't threads you have posted in .... it is threads you have visited.
I mostly wanted this feature because I constantly try to find URLs to answer questions of the Pre-Sales people.
I flip from XenCarta to Wordpress to BBCode to Xenporta threads.
I usually have 20 windows open.
I thought this might help.

I think having 100 browser windows opened at all times is really extreme and hopefully majority of people wouldn't have that.... I usually just have 1 window. With less than 5 tabs most of the time. Middle mouse clicking on threads to open them in new tab is super easy already.

Why can't you just use your browser's History feature?

I use that too.
Firefox Awesome Bar is crazy good for that type of stuff. Chrome isn't as good.
History has weaknesses as well.

I mostly wondered about this idea for people whom aren't as browser savvy.

I doubt non-savvy guys would have 100 windows open at the same time xD

lul...my computer would be on fire if I tried that...no more than 20-30 at a time.

You know the post-it mod actually comes into handy for exactly what your describing when it comes to referencing post

Much better suited for an add-on. I feel it's wasted resources tracking it, displaying it, etc., when the average user won't use it often. I reorganize my tabs so its easy to switch.
